Australia's Most Played SportIn the summer months cricket is Australia's most played sport. As of 2009 it has 550 000 registered players. There is also high participation in swimming and tennis.

During the winter months Australia is divided in football codes depending on location.

In the highly populated states of New South Wales, Queensland, the Australian Capital Territory and part of the Northern Territory the two Rugby Codes are the most played with Rugby League being the most dominant. Registered player numbers total just over 650 000 - Rugby League 500 000 and Rugby (Union) 150 000.

In Victoria and the less populated Australian states of South Australia, Western Australia, Tasmania and the Northern Territory, Australian football is by far the most dominant. This game is played on unused cricket ovals during the winter months. It has 600 000 registered players.
